Sunshine Cottage

Sunshine Cottage, part of Sunshine Assisted Living by CiminoCare in Paradise, CA, sits in a country setting with a relaxed family atmosphere and offers a smaller, more intimate community where residents usually know each other and the staff members by name, with care that often feels personalized and detailed. The Cottage gives specialized care for seniors, including assisted living, memory care, independent living, and residential board and care home services, all under the oversight of Interim Administrator Meryl Foz. Residents receive 24-hour non-medical personal care, including help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and daily supervision, and the care team tries to be attentive with a loving, caring approach and plenty of tenderness in daily life. Medical and healthcare services go beyond the basics, with health info, medications, medical tests, high acuity care, incontinence care, and support for several disabilities including hearing, vision, and mobility impairments, along with clinical trials and disaster mental health, fall prevention, and elder abuse resources. State and federal funded health programs, Affordable Care Act support, and a home health agency component are available, plus emergency services and a symptom checker. You'll find vegetarian meals, dining in a cozy room, outdoor and indoor common areas, a living room for social visits, a backyard, landscaped gardens, shaded walking paths, and a common room for activities, as well as small pets allowed, weekly housekeeping, laundry, and all utilities except phone included. There are private and shared rooms with features like wheelchair-accessible showers and nice views, and bill paying help, claims, home oversight, and even power of attorney can be part of the senior care management, which covers advocacy at doctor's appointments and extra support with everyday challenges. Sunshine Cottage emphasizes inclusion and community, putting effort into offering rides for errands, events, and appointments, and offering activities run by an Activity Coordinator, special events, holiday feasts, and pampering sessions, plus a professional hair stylist and manicurist. The residents can use health library resources, a care guide, recovery centers, and a network of local care and community resources linked to opioid help, suicide prevention, and more. Housekeeping, building maintenance, and groundskeeping keep things running smoothly, and the staff aims to respond to residents' physical, mental, and emotional needs. The setting supports independence while offering needed help, and residents are encouraged to socialize, chat over meals, and take comfort in routine, familiar surroundings with friendly faces nearby, often recalling simpler times and a sense of belonging. Both The Cottage and The House-adjacent licensed care homes-are managed with the same individual approach. Sunshine Cottage remains the only personalized assisted living facility in Paradise, offering a home away from home for seniors who want a smaller, caring community.
